DIY mobile home: design photos, step-by-step work process. The principle of operation of dry toilets

MERCEDES 308D converted for use as a special vehicle - a mobile toilet.

The van body is divided into 2 compartments by a continuous rigid partition. Additional equipment was installed according to the diagram Figure 1.

Interior layout Mercedes Benz Special - "mobile toilet"

The first compartment contains tanks: a tank for clean water, a tank for process water and a tank for waste water. The waste water tank forms the floor surface.

The second compartment contains 2 cabins, separated from each other by a solid partition. Entrance to the cabins is through hinged doors. Each cabin is equipped with a toilet, washbasin and hand dryer.

Electrical wiring, internal lighting and ventilation are installed, designed for connection to an external power source with a voltage of 220V. On the right wall of the van body there is a waterproof socket for connecting an external power source (220 V).

The design and installation of non-standard electrical devices and high voltage sources were carried out in accordance with the requirements of GOST 14254 regarding the protection of personnel from contact with live parts of equipment. The electrical equipment of a standard car is not designed for increased voltage and current consumption.

All additional equipment installed in the van is securely fastened.

All actions determined by the functional purpose are carried out only in a stationary state of the vehicle. It is not allowed for people to be in all compartments except the cab while the vehicle is moving.

Many people now have cars, and in large cities almost every second resident considers purchasing a car a necessity. As a result, the number of traffic jams on city streets is constantly increasing, and the time that residents of the capital and residents of cities with national significance spend on traffic jams is also increasing. The city authorities are solving this problem little by little, but there is a problem that is associated with this.

Why

In every large city (and especially in megacities) there is a disadvantage that is not very convenient to talk about. However, getting rid of this disadvantage always has a chance of becoming a great way to make money while helping the city. In this article we will talk about paid toilets, but not ordinary ones, but mobile ones. Recently, entrepreneurs in Moscow and several other large cities have been very active in opening various projects that are related to traffic jams.

Selling fresh newspapers and snack bars on wheels, as well as unique bathhouses on wheels are now already operating, not so long ago they began selling audiobooks in traffic jams, but the most important thing is still missing to create a toilet on wheels. This business has only recently begun to be developed, because the competition here is quite low and this business will certainly become successful, since in a long traffic jam there will certainly be many people who want to go to relieve themselves, since this desire, unlike hunger or boredom, is extremely difficult to overcome. But the business of installing mobile toilets, of course, is better suited for large and densely populated cities, where it will become more in demand than in the outback.

Story

Belgian Marc Callant thought of adapting a box with a toilet to his own car. The toilet stall has two compartments: the actual toilet on wheels and the waiting room. The opportunity to wash your hands is also available, which makes the device stand out from most familiar dry closets.

Of course, this is just a development for now. The price of such a box may well be approximately six thousand euros.
Not long ago, one businessman opened a mobile toilet, converting an Oka car for this purpose. The design of the mobile toilet is patented by the developers. It is a self-contained device that is suitable for all seasons and can fit almost anywhere and move extremely quickly to literally anywhere in the city. A toilet on wheels can be used not only in traffic jams, but also, for example, in mass events, and also send it to order, for example, for corporate events or outdoor picnics. Very practical, isn't it?

“How to make a toilet in a motorhome?” – spicy, but quite important question, sooner or later they are asked by most travel enthusiasts who are interested in traveling in a motor home.

In principle, there is currently a solution and it is quite simple: use a ready-made dry closet, they are now sold in many hardware stores.

But here I will tell you about how it works integrated toilet in a motorhome. So let’s start with a virtual tour of the camper’s bathroom.

The bathroom in the motorhome is shared, that is, we have a shower, a washbasin, and a toilet in one common compartment. Moreover, the floor in the bathroom doubles as a shower tray. And the toilet is also located in this tray.

The circle on the left is a handle-button; it performs two functions: it opens the toilet flap with a simple mechanical turn and turns on the water drain when pressed. Flushing water in a camper toilet does not work the same way as at home; here an electric pump turns on, supplying water to the walls of the toilet. As long as you keep the button pressed, water flows. I released the button and it stopped. The nozzle is located almost horizontally, so the water irrigates the surface in a uniform layer in a downward spiral.

The circle on the right is a container for toilet paper. Why is she hidden there? Because our shower is located right here and if the paper is not hidden, it will get wet during the next session of water procedures.

Human waste is collected in a separate container, rather than in the common shower and kitchen drain. Access to it is provided from outside the camper; there is a special hatch on the left side. And that’s right, there’s no point in carrying a pot of poop around the room if you need to free the container.

The lower part is a container for poop, it comes out like a drawer in a chest of drawers and slides along the guides. The top container is a container for water that will be used to flush everything after someone goes to the toilet. The vertical transparent tube on the right allows you to estimate the available volume of water for draining.

On the waste container there is a flap for the glasses, which was mentioned above, and the circle to the left and above in the photo is a connection for the handle in the bathroom, with which we open and close the glasses. The button in the upper right corner is... I forgot what it was. Next time, maybe I'll look and add. Most likely the waste level float. On the left is a rotating pipe with a lid through which the contents of the motorhome toilet are drained.

Water for flushing the toilet is poured into a separate tank; access to it is in the same place, on the left side of the motorhome.

There are special additives for both the lower container and the upper one. One chemical is added to the water, and another is added to the drain tank. These substances are designed to dissolve waste and minimize odor.

We bought a used motorhome. with a clean toilet and for a long time they didn't use it. But we bought a toilet brush (because we read on the Internet that this is generally the first thing you need to buy) and both types of additives. Then, however, we read that it is better not to use a brush so as not to scratch the surface of the toilet. Supposedly, it is initially quite smooth, before going to the toilet it is advisable to wet the surface with the flush liquid, briefly pressing the flush button, do the work and it should all fall into the waste tank. But with a brush like this you can ruin the quality of the coating and then you will have to constantly use it... Then you will have to put it somewhere when moving. And it’s still so dirty... In general, the version with a smooth surface looks believable.

What is the situation with the smell, does it spoil the trip? In general, we have already had to verify in practice that if we use liquids from Thetford (Thetford), which we bought in the Medtekhnika chain of stores in Kyiv, then for at least 4-5 days in the Crimean heat there is no smell at all. I didn't have a chance to check it further. These liquids, by the way, are also different. We poured red into the top tank and blue into the bottom.

There are domestically produced liquids, they cost 2-3 times cheaper, but as a rule, domestic products are inferior in quality to branded ones, so we haven’t had time to test these liquids yet. We decided to first fill in the branded one as a standard, and next time - the domestic one, just to have something to compare with. When new information appears, I will definitely add it.

By the way, performance characteristics (approximately): the capacity of the lower tank is ~20 l, the upper tank is ~15 l.
